Producer

Producer

Citadelle, located in the Charente region of France, benefits from an exceptional terroir, where the passion for distillation is passed down through generations. Every stage of production is meticulously orchestrated, from the selection of ingredients to the final distillation. Citadelle uses a traditional pot still distillation method, allowing for the extraction of the pure essences of the plants. The region's temperate climate, with its warm summers and cool winters, contributes to the aromatic richness of its gins. This artisanal expertise, combined with constant innovation, makes Citadelle a major player in the world of spirits.

Owner and history

Today led by Alexandre Gabriel, Citadelle is the fruit of a family passion for spirits.

Under his leadership, Citadelle has made a name for itself on the international stage, winning numerous awards for its gins.

Vinification and aging

The creation of Citadelle Gin relies on a meticulous distillation process, beginning with the maceration of botanicals in a mixture of spring water and neutral alcohol. The ingredients, chosen for their aromatic qualities, infuse slowly, allowing for optimal flavor extraction. Distillation then takes place in a pot still, where the alchemy of the ingredients reveals their full complexity. This gin is distinguished by its batch distillation method, guaranteeing consistent quality and respect for tradition. Each batch is then aged, allowing the aromas to blend harmoniously before bottling.
